[0:01]So, does scalp massage do anything for hair growth? And if it does, what's the best scalp massage for you to get the best results possible?
[0:08]Hi, my name is William Gaunitz. I am the CEO and founder of Evolution Hair Loss Institute. I'm also a practicing trichologist for over 21 years and I'm a fellow with the World Trichology Society.
[0:18]Now, I get this question from media outlets, I get it from clients, I get this just basically through email exchange.
[0:24]Is there a scalp massage that actually works for hair regrowth?
[0:29]You see all these little tools out there, these little articulating topical items that are rubber or plastic or metal.
[0:35]And for the most part, they don't do anything.
[0:38]And the reason for it is that they're not really actually manipulating the surface of the scalp and they're not actually getting to the area that is growing the hair, which is the dermal layer.
[0:49]So when you're doing something on the epidermis, you may be cleaning the surface of the scalp and that's fine, but if you're going to technically massage the scalp, you are going to physically need to move the scalp over skull.
[1:01]And that is the scalp massage that actually works.
[1:04]So a scalp over skull, a scalp massage if you do this daily, typically about one minute, maybe 90 seconds prior to actually applying a topical formula to the scalp at night would be best practices.
[1:17]You could also do it immediately before a shower because when you're shampooing your scalp, you're then going to be cleaning up the surface of your scalp and doing an even better job at cleaning your scalp.
[1:25]But ultimately, by doing this between 60 seconds and 90 seconds every day, you're going to get the best results out of your hair growth treatment.
[1:34]And basically, if you're trying to prevent hair loss, this is a great hair loss prevention tool.
[1:38]So what you need to do is take the palms of your hands. You're going to push down on the surface of your scalp, and you're going to move the scalp over skull.
[1:47]Now, you can do this, obviously, starting at the back of the scalp or the sides, and you're physically moving the tissue over the fascia of the scalp, and actually moving the scalp over skull.
[2:01]And by doing this for 60 to 90 seconds, you are improving circulation, you are getting the best results you possibly can out of that 60 to 90 seconds every single day.
[2:12]And then if you apply a topical formula directly to the areas of loss and then massage that in, you are maximizing the time and the efficiency of the scalp massage and you're going to get the best results possible.
[2:22]Just doing that alone, I have seen people actually slow or stop their hair loss.
[2:27]In some cases, you're going to get really astronomical results because some people with inflammation really need that scalp massage.
